(3 posts)Maeve (pretty name btw. It was on the short list if we had had a daughter) I have seen those stories, but I think the pols who said those things are making those assumptions using the wrong stereotypes, too. The same wrong assumptions that people are making these days since our Governor expedited restoration of voting rights. Our office heard from quite a few people that McAulliffe did it so that Hillary would get 200,000 more votes. What a joke! I've had to shut down more than a few of these conversations by simply asking why they think that every former felon is a Democrat. And If they still want to go on, I remind them that our former governor, McDonnell, will need to have his rights restored someday. So I guess my point is, you never can tell what someone will do, or vote for!
